When shall we three meet again

– Shakespeare

Rain

Campari effect subsided

Awoke…

Precipitation clamorous

Music of the rain

Tinkling notes

Striking odd elements

An enamel shade

The iron garden table

A tin bucket

Gravel drive

Fieldstone walk

Concrete statuary

Copper roof

Stove pipe

Slate patio

Potted arboretums

Grassy green

Firewood

Indian trail

Flowing gutters

Trees laid bare

Babbling brook

No longer audible

Rain’s orchestration

A tick on old glass

With Buddha

Ore the left shoulder

Draped in multiple

Colored Christmas lights

The rain sings

An elaborate song

Making way

To aquifer and brook

Buddha smiles wanly

Chords chime

The song sings

Making time

The rain wings

From the bed

All fluff with pillow

Under shed

Beyond willow

The song of rain

Will entertain

The mind the soul

And earth

Each melody

For her for me

All and free

Cacophony
